Spaghetti Squash Goulash

This was one of my favorite hot dishes when I was a child–I still want the taste but all the extra carbs. Replace the carby noodles with the spaghetti squash and cut the calories and carbs in half! Enjoy! Serves 4.

Preparation

In a large frying pan, saute the ground turkey meat over medium-high heat until cooked through.
Add the onions to the pan and saute them until tender; about 5 minutes.
Add 1 cup of stock, marinara sauce, tomatoes, garlic and onion powder, basil, bay leaves, Braggs Aminos Acid, salt, pepper, and salt. Stir well and then cover the pot and cook for 20 minutes of medium-low heat.
Turn the heat to a simmer and cook for another 15 minutes.
Remove pot from heat and cool for 15-30 minutes.
Either stir in the cooked Spaghetti Squash or just place the mixture on top of the squash on a plate.
